Notes

Homemade Cream of Soup:To make a homemade or gluten free cream of soup melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a sauce pan. When the butter is completely melted stir in 2 tablespoons flour or gluten free flour. Stir until the flour mixture makes a paste that begins to turn brown. This will take 2-3 minutes. Add 11 ounces of good quality chicken stock and stir until the mixture is thick. This will take 5-6 minutes.
*All slow cookers cook at different temperatures. If you know yours tends to cook higher you will need to reduce the cooking time. I have one that I feel cooks at a true low temperature and 6 hours is perfect. I have another that cooks much hotter (it will bring soup to a simmer on low) and it cooks this casserole in just 3 hours on low. Consider how your individual slow cooker tends to lean and cook accordinly.
